In his first TV interview in years, legendary point guard Michael Ray Richardson joins Edge of Sports to talk about his new memoir, Banned, which chronicles how the drug war ended his NBA career. Richardson also opens up about his career and life after the NBA, his family, and his relationships with other great athletes who were his contemporaries. Host of the show Dave Zirin also speaks with University of Cincinnati Professor Letisha Brown about her study of the slowly integrating world of women’s gymnastics, and shares some theories about why football is so popular in the United States in his segment ‘Choice Words’.
